A few weeks ago I received a box in the mail from Bob's Red Mill. I've been having a great time baking with the products that they sent. I've made Gluten Free Vanilla Cupcakes, Jalapeno Cheddar Blue Corn Muffins, and this week I made Snickerdoodles with Almond Flour!
As promised this week I'll be giving away a Bob's Red Mill gift package containing Almond Flour, Blue Cornmeal, and Gluten Free Vanilla Cake Mix! See below for details on how to enter this giveaway.
Anyhow, back to the snickerdoodle cookies. When I first received my package from Bob's Red Mill I was going to make macarons with the almond flour but I've made those before and wanted to try something different. I've been baking more gluten free but generally I use a blend of gluten free flours. This time I wanted to try a cookie with all almond flour.
I've never baked with all almond flour before but I do know that baked goods with almond flour are more crumbly then those with regular flour. I found that they baked up puffier then regular cookies and while they did crumble, if I let them cool on the cookie sheet for several minutes they stayed in one piece when I transferred them to a wire cooling rack. They have a different texture to them then regular chocolate chip cookies but they ended up tasting great and I was able to share them with my gluten free friends!
